ABOUT THE HAPPY ELF
Eubie is the happiest elf at the North Pole. More than anything else, he longs to be a part of Santa’s sleigh team. Instead, he’s stuck checking Santa’s lists. Until one Christmas Eve he sees something strange: In the whole town of Bluesville, not a single person has been nice. So with a pinch of elfish magic and a magical whoosh, Eubie’s off to Bluesville. But can he turn a whole town of children nice in just one day?
Based on the beloved holiday song “The Happy Elf” by Grammy Award winner Harry Connick, Jr., and with vibrant illustrations from Dan Andreasen, The Happy Elf is a new holiday classic for the entire family.

Saint Nick and the Space Nicks” is written by Richard Chase Mears and illustrated and produced by Bill Westerfield. If Clement Clark Moore‘s ‘The Night before Christmas’ and Dr. Seuss were to have a child, this would be it! With Richard’s smart and snappy writing and Bill’s whimsically detailed illustrations, they have created a wonderful new spin to the traditional Christmas story. Space Nicks is wonderfully narrated by the celebrated Robert Krulwich.
‘Space Nicks’ tells the story of how St. Nick meets Venick from Venus. Venick is a strange purple creature with long purple hair and is dressed exactly like St. Nick. Venick tells him that while delivering his own toys on Venus he tripped on a star and tumbled from near to afar, ending up lost here on Earth. Fearing he will not be able to complete his task, he asks for help. When St. Nick says yes, a whole new world of Christmas opens up to them.
Follow St. Nick and Venick as they travel through space and meet all the Space Nicks! It’s an adventure you won’t forget and reminds you whenever you’re lost, look to the sky, to the heavens above, there are billions of stars that sparkle with love!
This storybook app features plenty of interactive buttons, visible and hidden, that trigger animations, draggable objects and silly sound effects that kids will love!
